The Art of Hygge

simple spread of cheeses, olives and bread on a wooden board with wine, or home-baked buns, show that you’ve put love and care into your meal

perhaps take a flask of something hot.

Fresh air keeps the doctor poor.

swap heavy curtains for sheer panels

through crafting, baking, experiencing natural wonders, lingering over everyday rituals and making the most of time spent with loved ones

a state of being and of finding joy in the simple pleasures of everyday life – from watching the sun rise to sharing a meal and good conversation with friends

Fear less, hope more; eat less, chew more; whine less, breathe more; talk less, say more; hate less, love more; and all good things are yours.
Scandinavian proverb

Hygge is about cherishing yourself so don’t wait for someone to buy you flowers; head to your local florist or farmers’ market and treat yourself to a bunch of your favourites.

I like to hear a storm at night. It is so cosy to snuggle down among the blankets and feel that it can’t get at you.
L. M. Montgomery

Fresh air keeps the doctor poor.
Danish proverb
